Glad to see the voice actors from RE2 (Claire) and RE4(Leon) back for this. One thing that pissed me off was the constant cast changing in the RE series. I want RE0's Rebecca's VA do ALL of Rebecca's voice. And I want the old Wesker voice back instead of the shit it was in Umbrella Chronicles.

Trailer looks decent, the animation and CG looks a little stiff, but hey, this isn't exactly Square Enix... Though you think they would have use the RE4 Leon character model, this new model's face its a little off. Go to the Japanese official site and look at his character render to see what I mean.

And my GOD, if they end up orchestrating the RE2 soundtrack for this film that would be nice. I mean they already did it before for the Biohazard orchestral album.... Watching this trailer does give nostalgic vibes for RE2.

Somehow the original teaser looks better to me CG-wise.
I think the main problem with the new trailer is the motion capture for passengers. And if you watch the scene with Claire in the elevator, you'll notice how empty and unnatural her eyes look. Still some touch-ups to be made before the theatrical release, though I'd also be confident with what we've got now.
Alyson Court reprising her role as Claire was a wonderful decision on CAPCOM's part - nice to have at least one character in the series that has the same voice for every title.

This thread needs a bump, because the torrent for the movie just got released, and i just finished watching it.

My thoughts

Spoiler:

I have to say it was good with all the problems that was posted above (the facial animation I guess was alright, the lip-synch was sort of off). It's typical Capcom fare which I dont expect flawless CGI which the entertainment value makes up for. I'll be sure to pick the DVD up at the end of the month (boo for no real special features).

Spoiler:

I loved the flashback to RE 2.

I honestly thought it wasn't that great. Killing zombies was good, the rest not so much.
The animations were over exaggerated as well. Yes we know Claire was talking I don't need to see her head bob all the time just to signify that.
Also the fact that there were to many coincidences the character meetings.

Again, zombie killing good. Everything else not so much.

I enjoyed it, but I do wish it tied in more with the games, other than references to RE2.

CG wasn't horrible, but they could've done a better job with lip syncing. Also, it was surprisingly tame. I know RE has never been especially gory, but...

Spoiler:

things like G-Curtis slaughtering those soldiers would've been a little more explicit. Hell, even RE1 showed Wesker being impaled by the Tyrant. While I'm on the subject of G-Curtis, I really wish they hadn't had his last bit of humanity come through when he looked at that picture. Even for RE, that was a bit too cheesy.

Hunnigan's appearance was a nice surprise, but it kinda fucks with the continuity, since she and Leon meet for the first time a year or so later in RE4 when she introduces herself.

Claire using an umbrella as a weapon made me lol.

Spoiler:

This movie was like watching an extended cutscene from the video game only without being able to shoot zombies after it ends. It's Resident Evil, so there were plenty of awkward moments and what not. Leon saying "shoot them in the head" then watching a zombie get its legs shot out not a moment later. They should have saved their money and put this stuff into another video game.

I just must enjoy movies in general. Granted, with the live action movies, the plot really never made any sense at all, and I believe the reason why it sucks so bad is because the director is married to the bitch that played Alice.

I think she was a fan of the games, so having no real reason to be in them, even though she would have made a -somewhat- tolerable Jill, they decide to make a new character and completely fuck tard the series up.

That being said, this CGI movie was a saving grace. The story was consistent to the series, gave a little back info as to what some characters were up to, and I think was a fine representation to what the live action movies SHOULD have been.

I mean hell, Mortal Kombat was a decent movie because it followed the plot of the game...Warriors from earth fighting to save it. Then they dropped the ball.

As for this, you have to remember that the people in the movie were NOT playing a game. Sure, Leon told them to shoot them in the head, but they were not trained soldiers taking orders, they reacted like normal, stupid people. They didn't want to accept that the Racoon City incident actually happened the way it happened. So while it was stupid to shoot a zombie in the leg after someone just tells you to shoot them in the head, it's understandable why they didn't think that would be reasonable enough.

The bulk of them were military in my defense, though I can't remember who took the shot in that scene. Frankly, I don't want to recollect scenes from this movie with the utmost accuracy. So, you've got no argument from me. If anyone enjoyed it, good for them, no one's calling it "Fine Cinema" or whatever and there's no need for me to be backhanded about it. It really just felt like Capcom wanted to make a Resident Evil CG movie to remind you, the consumer, that "Hey, it's Resident Evil, remember that thing?"

Advent Children at least had some plot thread to tie up, this movie just seemed to be pure indulgence for the fan base. Makes me wonder if Capcom's gonna get much coin from it.
